Welcome to Fidels Eyeglasses!

Cuban LP's and recordings which include particular "styles" and "forms" of (playing & singing) "Cuban" music that unfortunately have become, or are on their way to becoming lost art forms.As well as related materiel which may not be "directly" from Cuba.

Mostly LP's that are either long out of print and-or obscure and music from "my own personal collection".

Occasionally some Brasilian things will be added that are hard to find, even on the other great Brasilian blogs, many that are listed in my Blog links.And maybe some things that have nothing to do with Cuban or Brasilian music.

It takes time to do all this, scanning the covers, resizing and uploading, often changing & correcting the info.

Have fun!"The water most often tastes freshest at its source"For those of you not familiar with navigating through music blogs, you can either look through the monthly"Blog Archive" (listed on the left of this page) or, you can click on the words "older posts" at the bottom right of each page.***You can always get to the most recent post by clicking on The Eyeglasses in the photo at the top of this page.

****NOTE: DIVSHARE HAS SCREWED UP MANY SOUND FILES ON THIS BLOG AND REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO RE-UPLOAD THE FILES THAT DO NOT PLAY, A LONG TEDIOUS PROCESS, BUT SLOWLY I AM REPAIRING THE NON WORKING FILES.
